    [News] Another substation fire 🤔

    Suspect this is more likely due to cutbacks to maintenance budgets /sweating the assets past their design life, than anything more sinister

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    Apologies if a stupid question, I've not been following this at all, but why have Trump's comments resulted in such a surge for the Liberal Party only? Were the Cons in favour of becoming part of the US or something? The upswing seems to coincide with Trudeau's resignation as much as it does...

    [Football] Wrexham

    And English fans NEVER boo a national anthem! To those saying they've bought success, name one club (who've had success, obviously) who haven't spent a load of money to achieve it. We certainly have. That's been the reality of football for as long as I can remember. People can make excuses to...

    [News] RIP Virginia Giuffre

    The post speculating that she was a willing participant in her own abuse was pretty shameful imho.

    [Other Sport] World Snooker to leave Sheffield?

    And in each of those cases, the work was paid for, in the main, by the sports themselves. Why should the people of Sheffield pay for Hearn and the players to earn yet more millions?

    [Travel] When does a boat become a ship

    I was just considering throwing in this very point. It's always a space SHIP, never a space BOAT.

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    With Newcastle it's slightly different. It's not that they expect success, its more that they believe somehow that they feel the pain of lack of success more deeply than the rest of us. The radio this morning was absolutely dripping in it, that they love their team in a way other supporters...

    [Misc] What do you think of Generation Z?

    Indeed. The OP has just, yet again, started a thread with clickbaity subject and a divisive generalisation, presumably in their ongoing quest to make Bozza loads of money or something, and people fall for it everytime. :timmy:

    [Misc] Should we scrap imperial units and go fully metric?

    No worries, the terms tube and pipe are used pretty much interchangeably. I really just wanted to take the opportunity to point out how stupid pipe dimensions are 😁

    [Football] Prince William speaks out about 3pm blackout

    People who want 3pm matches televised want to be careful what they wish for, cos there's no way it's going to be broadcast for free. Obviously not a concern for a Prince, but for everyone else I bet it will become a whole lot more expensive to watch something that I understand is not actually...

    [Misc] Should we scrap imperial units and go fully metric?

    A pendant writes: that's technically tube, not pipe. Pipe actually uses one of the most ridiculous systems of all. Metric and imperial sizes are both aligned so they they are interchangeable, but neither are the dimension they are described as. So a 1" pipe is identical to a 25mm pipe, but is...

    Typical elitist not giving a shit about the smaller clubs.

    [Misc] Should we scrap imperial units and go fully metric?

    This whole thread is doubly ridiculous because US imperial units aren't even the same as British imperial units anyway. An American pint is 473ml, nearly 100ml less than a British one, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_imperial_and_US_customary_measurement_systems

    [Albion] Premier League 8-10/3/25

    City's defence literally stood back and watched him score. Amazing.

    [Football] Palace v Millwall

    I'm going to wait to hear he's OK before I start cracking jokes about it, to be honest.
